Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in autoconf 2.69. smokeping appears to use an earlier version of autoconf, preventing its being built. This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference): 1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69. 2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running configure. 3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/smokeping/smokeping-aarch64.patch which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.
Requested upstream to update to autoconf 2.69: Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2013 20:23:31 -0400 From: Chuck Anderson cra WPI EDU To: tobi oetiker ch Cc: terjeros phys ntnu no Subject: smokeping: please update to autoconf 2.69 for aarch64 (ARM 64-bit) support Hi Tobi, Fedora is being ported to the new ARM 64-bit architecture and this requires the newest autoconf 2.69. Can you please update smokeping (and your other software I suppose) to use autoconf 2.69? Thanks, Chuck
Alternative 2) was already in use in the %build section of this package.
